Rent Villa Isildur Greece

A vacation in Villa Isildur is worth it for the views alone! This unique split-level, luxury villa sits surrounded by lush greenery, overlooking Agios Isidoros beach, situated on the south coast of the Greek island of Lesbos, in the north Aegean Sea. The villa is part of a small cluster of environmentally-friendly properties, set on the hillside, with sweeping panoramic views over the adjacent azure Aegean Sea. The beautiful beach is a short three hundred metre walk away, where you can dip your toes in the crystal clear waters, and be back in time for breakfast.

Villa Isildur has two spacious double bedrooms, and can comfortably accommodate up to five guests, ideal for a small family, or couples sharing. The property is constructed out of burnt orange terracotta, with floor-to-ceiling picture windows, which open onto terraces, and flood the space with natural light and cooling sea breezes. The villa has on-site parking, complimentary air conditioning and Wi-Fi throughout, solar panels, and modern sensor systems. The interiors are stylishly furnished with contemporary pieces, the latest appliances, and a calming colour palette of crisp whites with shades of beige, and hues of blue.

Follow the paved stone path, that takes you to the entrance of the villa, where you will find a large open-plan living space, with stunning sea views, and doors that slide open onto the expansive terrace. The seating area has an inviting L-shaped sofa, which can be transformed into a bed for one guest, a chair, a coffee table, a flat-screen television, and a fireplace for those cooler months and evenings. The adjacent dining set has a smart extendable glass top table, and six white chairs, ideal for some impressive indoor entertaining. The white and brown kitchen is fully equipped with everything you will need to cater for your holiday, including a family-size fridge-freezer, a built-in oven and hob, a washing machine and dishwasher, and that must-have morning coffee maker. A guest loo with WC and hand basin completes this floor. Take the stairs to the upper level, where there are two bedrooms, both with double beds, and stunning sea-view balconies. There is a separate grey and white marble tiled bathroom, with a walk-in shower, wash basin, and WC.

The best bit about Villa Isildur is the fifty square metre glass-fronted terrace, with incredible vistas over the Aegean, and a backdrop of magnificent mountains. The light stone tiled terrace is furnished with a seating set, strategically positioned to watch as the yachts sail over the horizon, as you sip cocktails at sunset. Take the paved stone steps down to the ladder entry swimming pool, surrounded by a paved terrace and a well-manicured lawn, and have a cool-down dip in the hot afternoon sun.

Villa Isildur can be found nestled in a group of luxury environmentally-friendly stone houses, in the charming village of Agios Isidoros, on the southern tip of the beautiful Greek island of Lesbos in the north Aegean Sea. The nearest international airport is Mytilini Odysseas Elytis, a forty-kilometre drive across the island to your holiday home. If you are island hopping you will embark at the port of Mytilini, a one-hour journey to the villa. The village is within walking distance, where you will find supermarkets and local stores for your holiday provisions, and a few cafes, bars, and tavernas, where you can sample the local dishes.

The nearest beach is a short three hundred metres away at Agios Isodoros, considered by some to be one of the best on the island. This beautiful small pebble beach has organised facilities, easy entry to shallow waters, and crystal clear waters it is perfect for snorkelling and swimming. The picturesque port town of Plomari is only two miles down the coast and is most famous for being the hometown of the national drink of Ouzo. You can sample two of the most famous brands of Ouzo at the Barbayanni and Isodoros Arvanitis Museums, visit the Soap Industry and Folklore Museums, and admire the Byzantine icons in the many churches and chapels. Take a walk through the town with its traditional architecture, merchant’s mansions, souvenir stores, and seafront restaurants. Plomari also has an excellent beach, and within the region equally recommended are, Ammoudeli, Tarsanas, Melinda, and Ayia Varvara. All aboard for a day out at sea, with a boat trip from the port. There are lots of activities you can do on the island, including hiking trails, snorkelling and scuba diving, water sports, and horse riding. Visit villages as old as time, most notably Molyvos, Agiassos, and Skala Sikimias, to see how the islanders really live.

The capital town of Mytilini is home to a handful of museums including the Archaeological Museum, the Byzantine Museum, the Folk Art Museum, the Museum of Costume and Embroidery, and the Theophilus Art Museum. Climb the famous castle fortifications for some stunning sea views, then walk the Roman aqueduct and admire their technical skills. Mytilini reflects its history in the number of Greek Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches, its many Byzantine monasteries, and mosques still there from the time of Ottoman rule. Make sure you don’t miss the local markets, selling hand-pressed olive oil, hive honey, carved woodwork, and homemade cheeses.

Take a tour of over two hundred caves scattered across the island, believed to be originally neolithic places of worship. Marvel at the natural hot springs of Efthalia, Thermes, and Gera. Lose yourself in the unique and natural phenomenon that is the Petrified Forest, created from intense volcanic activity. Then visit the nearby museum at Sigri, which is dedicated to researching, promoting, displaying, and preserving it. After all that activity go on a wine tour, sample the fruits of the harvest, and take home a bottle or two.
